TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN} Be itknown that I, A. J.1TRUXELL, of Salem, in the county of Roanoke, and'in the State of Virginia,-' have invented-certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Lard-Press and Sausage-Stufler; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being made to the V accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the annexed drawings, forming part of this speoification- Figure 1 is a horizontal view.

Figure 2 a sectional view, and

Figure 3 a plan view;

The nature of my invention consists in providing the bottom of the cup or dish with atubc or funnel, and a'movable perforated bottom inside, and also in providing the beach on which the cup stands with a device for fastening the same to it. v

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention,'I will proceedto describe its construetion and operation. i p

A represents a'wooden bench, which in one end has a post, 13. To the post B the lever O is pivoted, and the followerv D is hung .on this lever in such-a manner that it works up and down in the cup or dish E when the lever is raised or lowered. The cup or dish E, which is made of tin or any other suitable material, has a concave bottom, with a tube, F, running down from the centre. This tube F, which is used for stufling sausages,

- can be replaced with a funnelivhen the machine is to be used as a pressor strainer, ,or the tube may act as a funnel for thatpurpose. The inside of the concave bottom of the cup E isprovided with catches to fit in "notches on the perforated strainer G, as shown in fig. 3. The perforated movable bottom or strainer can bemade of tin, zinc, or other suitable materiaL-and is provided with flanges or ribs.on its lower side, so as to form a vacuum on the inside between the two bottoms.

, The bench A has a hole cut through it to insert the tube or funnel'F, the cup or dish E is held steady on the bench by means ofa circular clamp, H, or any other suitable device, as shown in fig. 3.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I elaim a-s new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v The combination of the removable cup E formed with a concaved bottom and spout F, and provided with a perforatedplate, G, with the bench A, lever C, follower D, and pivoted latch H; all constructed and operating as set forth. v

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 20th day of April, 1368.

A. J. TRUXELL.
